Abstract: Forecasting is a powerful tool that can enable companies to save millions in revenue every year if the forecast is good enough. The problem lies in the good enough part. Many companies today use Excel topredict their future sales and trends. While this is a start it is far from optimal. Seco Analytics aim to solve this issue by forecasting in an informative and easy manner. The web application uses the ARIMA analysis method to accurately calculate the trend given any country and product area selection. It also features external data that allow the user to compare internal data with relevant external data such as GDP and calculate the correlation given the countries and product areas selected. This thesis describes the developing process of the application Seco Analytics.
